A lot has happened in the nearly eight years since Donald Trump descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower and announced that he was running for president. He won, he lost, he tried to overthrow the government, and on Thursday, he became for the first time in the history of the presidency a felon convicted by a jury of his peers.
On Friday, Trump once again called the media to the lobby of Trump Tower, where he responded to the conviction by railing against President Joe Biden, Judge Juan Merchan, and the case against him.
During the lengthy, rambling address, Trump unloaded a stream-of-consciousness laundry list of grievances ranging from the trial itself, to his issues with the Jan. 6 Committee, to the border. He did not take any questions after the nearly 40-minute rant despite advertising the event as a press conference.
This is a case where if they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. These are bad people, Trump said. These are in many cases, sick people.

This is a case where if others did what you did they would have been convicted a lot sooner.

(9,201 posts)Well, yah. That's how the justice system works. Equal justice under the law.
Laws apply to everyone, including Trump.
I guess since he never had to pay the price of his criminal actions in the past, he doesn't think that's the case.
Surprise!

(1,250 posts)Remorseless, recidivist criminal convicted of 34 Felony Crimes after a 5 week trial by a unanimous jury refuses to accept any responsiblity nor any accountabilty for his crimes. No remorse -- no leniency! Punish this unrepentent criminal to the maximum punishment allowed by New York criminal law.

(5,500 posts)He stumbled, he fumbled, and he kept repeating the same old tired shit from his stump speech. Some damage will be immediate, but more importantly much of the damage will be cumulative.
